Fiddle heads

[Rod Caster]

Yup, those are the right ones, ice fisherman. Enjoy! It should be our time to pick soon!

Still no fiheads in my area yet. The ground is still holding frost in some spots but, the forest looks ready to burst into growth!

Is the ground-snow/frost 100 percent melted in Barrie, yet?

Nice!

 

What I thought where going to be fidle heads at my place turned out to some weird type of fern. They coil the same as fidle heads, but have a red stem, not green? Don't think they would taste very good!

Found some just off my property!!

 

A little mature, but there was enough for a meal.

Nice, your own "no work" garden!

[Christopheraaron]

That's one good looking meal!

Once they open, its a fern? If it is, they were all open and they were everywhere today!

Hello All,

 

Did a 16.9km hike today. Found my first ever "patch" of fiddleheads. Many different stages of growth at this spot, with quite a few just beginning to sprout through the earth. Ended up bringing 112 home with me

 

 

 

Had my first taste tonight....YUMMY! Might have to make a return to this little area later in the week...

 

Also found two deer sheds in very good condition. That brings my total to nine sheds this spring. Definitely still some out there to be found!

 

 

A great day to be outside for sure...

 

Cheers,

 

Justin

These are some fiddle heads I found right here in the city. Just along the creek. They were delicious.

Good stuff justin and Blair. They still haven't sprouted where I look as of yet. This week it should start.

Funny how the climate in town allows for much earlier growth then a location just 15kms away.

Found some fiddleheads in algonquin this past weekend as well. Too bad I didn't find any brookies. I did find a pretty nice sized shed, I'll post a pic of it tonight...

I picked about a pound for the wife this morning around an un-named creek near Barrie while "trying" to chase resident browns. I caught 4 but I'm sure their combined weight was less then the pound of fiddleheads.
